How to Plant and Care for Nut Trees

Nut trees thrive in full sun and well-drained soil. You can control the few pests and diseases that trouble them with liquid fruit tree spray.

Most nut trees are self fruitful, but the male and female flowers don't always develop at the same time. For best results, plant nut trees in groups of 2 or more of like variety within 50 feet to increase their chances of pollination. Those not self fruitful need a pollinator planted nearby.
